About Powellville, Missouri: Boiling Springs on Gasconade River

Powellville is a quiet community in Phelps County along the historic 1926-1977 alignment of Route 66 near the Gasconade River. Named for a local family, this settlement grew in the early 20th century to meet the needs of travelers with small gas stations, modest eateries and a touch of local Ozark hospitality. For decades, it offered a welcome pause for motorists making the long journey across Missouri.

The community's true treasure lies just beyond the highway in Boiling Springs. This remarkable natural spring is famous for its crystal-clear waters and the bubbling currents that give it its name. Surrounded by the verdant foothills of the Ozarks, the spring has long drawn the likes of anglers, hikers and nature lovers in search of peace and beauty.

For Route 66 adventurers, Boiling Springs was a reminder that the Mother Road wasn't just about neon signs and diners, but it also connected travelers to America's many natural wonders.

Though Powellvilles' gas stations and cafés have long since faded, its story is preserved in the landscape and in the memories of those who once stopped there. Like many small towns along Route 66, it represents the era when rural communities adapted to the rhythm of cross-country travel, weaving themselves into the highway's identity.

Today, Powellville's legacy continues through its proximity to regional Route 66 celebrations such as Rolla's Route 66 Summerfest and Route 66 Cuba Fest. For those who value historic charm, natural beauty and quiet authenticity, Powellville offers a glimpse into the timeless spirit of Route 66 - where the open road meets the bubbling waters of the Ozarks.
